Abstract :
This paper is about a puzzle – I’ll call it ‘the Return’ – that putsconsiderable pressure upon Christians to accept a very robust scepticism about thefuture. Those familiar with work on so-called ‘lottery puzzles’ will notice muchsimilarity between those puzzles and the Return. However, there is an importantdifference that renders the Return an especially difficult problem for a Christian whobelieves that he has much knowledge about the future. After introducing the Return,I’ll argue that it is immune to the most promising non-sceptical approaches to morefamiliar lottery puzzles
